Elle’s Studio Sketch Projects

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, as I’m busy preparing for my Frosty Festivities free blog event! (If you missed out on the details, see HERE, where there’s also a giveaway with a few days left to enter!). I’ve been watching festive movies while I’m crafting to get me in the mood – I used to say Christmas must not be mentioned until December, but since I discovered blogging I start earlier and earlier!

To remind me that it is still Autumn at the moment, here’s a few non-Christmas projects, starting with a Thanks card with a few leaves for fall! All 3 projects on today’s post use Elle’s Studio sketches, which I love to work with – though my projects usually end up busier than the sketch!

I thought it was an excellent opportunity to use the ‘thanks’ bunting from the Everyday Greetings Printables! I used lots of happy colours from different Elle’s collections, and I think the leaves add the perfect ‘fall’ touch. A couple of the leaves are stuck flat, and a couple are on pop-dots, to add depth.

This page has a photo of my sister from the joint Disney-themed birthday party we had last year. She looked gorgeous as Belle from Beauty and the Beast:

I hid some journaling about my sister and our Disney love:

And as her birthday was the big 21 I made sure to include that number on the page, with a few gems around it of course:

I have made a page before with another sheet of this You & Me ‘Chalk Love’ paper, you can see the previous page HERE. I bought a second sheet of the paper because I loved it so much, and by rotating the paper for this layout, and using much bolder colours, I’ve ended up with a very different page. The layouts will be in separate albums too so that’s okay!

So there we go, a few non-festive projects before this blog is overrun with winter and Christmas inspiration!

What do you think of my takes on the Elle’s Studio sketches? Do you ever follow sketches – if so do you stick close to the original or change-it-up a lot?

Such a beautiful collection of projects ! Love the bright colors of the last one, the happy colors WITH a happy fall feeling of the card, and the second layout, oh, this is a CUTE model and a pretty layout !
